Pros:

-Nice beautiful park in another great neighbor hood. Very family friendly, there is stuff for everyone if you all like the outdoors. Park reminds me of Hornet's Nest Park in Charlotte.

-Benches on almost if not every hole. There are trash cans around the course which is good enough.
-Nice tee signs and tee pads. Tee pads are brick I believe.

-Nice 28 chain baskets in perfect shape.

-Life is a box of chocolates. You don't know what you will get. This course is all the variety that is wanted and it's perfectly mixed in. Lengths range from about sub 200' to over 77' feet. Good use of elevation, good mix of open/wooded holes, clever use of OB on #10 and #17. #10 to the right side of the logs to the right side of the fairway is OB and the OB rule of #17 make it fun with its risk/reward. The hole is over 400' and in the fairway, there is a clear area, not grassy that is in bounds and the green is surrounded by rocks. This is exactly like a roped hole in a tournament.

-#10 is my favorite. It's a downhill par 4 over 500' that is OB outside of the logs in the ground. You can play safe and throw left of the gap straight ahead of the tee and be in a little area of planted trees just starting to grow, or anhyzer. The pro way would be to clear the gap ahead which is very thin and your disc will hopefully stay straight. This is a pretty easy par if you play it safely and you can even birdie it that way but if you screw up, potentially in the first 100', you could face a 5 or 6. The green is also surrounded by low bushes.

-Nice basket locations. Such as rollaway greens, #7's basket is elevated on a bunch of rocks, #17's green being surrounded by rocks in which you have to be inside of, etc.

-The front nine is more of an accuracy game, #4 stands out to mind. It's a slightly downhill par 3 that's around 400'. Basket is tucked into the woods and the hole has limited fairway. Both the left and right sides can be punishing but a 2 is possible. The back nine is mostly for distance but still demands a TON of accuracy. Everything is birdieable, but so much can go wrong.

Cons:

-#16 has no tee pad yet and the hole is rough right now. Lot of tall grass and the shot is blind which makes it difficult to see where it landed. Tip. Throw to the right where it isn't rough out there, look at the shot before you throw. Also an irritating hole. Kinda leaves you scratching your head saying "Come on man." It's an up and over par 4, but OB on both sides. So lost disc potential is high.

-Artifical OB. Too much and little room for error.
Some may consider #17 a little goofy because of its OB. Same with #11. Hole 11 is a long uphill par 4. But wide open so you see a really corny idea, Right of the trees to the right side is OB. #13 is a disaster whenever the OB is in play. Both sides and primarily open. Best of luck to you on a windy day.

-Few weird fairways. Hole 8 comes to mind, it's just a "Do everything you can to par." It's moderately long and uphill with trees randomly spaced out.

-#2 gets flooded sometimes.

Other Thoughts:

-This course starts well, ends well. #1 is a nice midrange anhyzer that's slightly wooded. #18 is out in the open and plays uphill all the way. An open 675' par 4 seems doable but a 3 here is very well cherished because this hole has its risks and many challenges. The tall stuff and the excess OB gets pretty aggravating and there are some odd holes out here. I loved this course at first because I saw so much potential, but instead they made it a little less appealing.

-Signature hole: I don't know if #15 is a signature hole, it's definitely punishing without having much OB. #14 could easily be the signature hole. Very fun tee shot on the top of a hill.

-Love it or hate it: #9. Short ace run that goes through a VERY thin gap and out in the open. This is maybe the shortest on the course. It's only about 200' but it has its defense.
